which could cause a crash or could cause
injury or death, you should immediately in-
form the National Highway Traffic Safety

tifyin aprilia. If NHTSA receives similar
complaints, it may open an investi ation,
and if it finds that a safety defect exists in a
roup of vehicles, it may order a recall and
remedy campai n. However, NHTSA can-
not become involved in individual problems
between you, your dealer, or aprilia. To
contact NHTSA, you may either call the
Auto Safety Hotline toll free at 1-800-424-

ORIGIN OF THE EMISSIONS
The combustion process produces carbon
monoxide and hydrocarbons. The control
of hydrocarbons is very important, because
under certain conditions they react to ex-
posure to sunli ht and produce photo-
chemical smo .
Carbon monoxide does not react in the
same way, but it is toxic and poisonous.
aprilia utilizes “lean” carburetor settin s
and other systems to reduce the produc-
tion of carbon monoxide and hydrocar-
bons.
